E-toll testing starts in KZN

[EtienneK]

You don't know what you are talking about or can I just say shutup?

The N3 is already bloody tolled and if you don't want to pay, you can use the old pre-N3 route, N3 was newly built.

All they want to do now if make it easier to go thought the boomed gantries in some of the toll gate lanes, no sitting behind some dunderhead looking around for change.

I fully support these, instead of the GFIP e-toll crap (no new roads).

I have been saying all along that the screwed up the rollout of E-Tolls. If they started with all the existing tollgates, then there would have been NO fuss.

I go through a boom tollgate everyday as part of my commute to work. If they had an E-Toll lane I would happily get an E-Tag.

Stopped there, no worries this is just an alternative to existing systems

If you guys truly think that this won't go the same way as the GP eTolls... Time and time again the ZANC show their colours and yet people don't learn - this is just another boiled frog scenario... I will gladly stand to be corrected but, if I look back at history, I feel that in this I unfortunately won't be.

crap man, it's a totally different scenario, I travel that stretch of road regularly and don't mind paying tolls, the road is maintained regularly and there's the patrols etc. having 1 or 2 of the booths at tolling points geared up for a tag is something I would under other circumstances do, would be nice to just drive through and not have to stop to pay (experienced this in the US and it works well).

However, I will not buy any form of e-tag from SCAMRAL cause then that means registering an account and subsequently being liable for GFIP e-tolls which I refuse to pay
